British Prime Minister, Theresa May, on Monday appointed Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, as new foreign minister after his predecessor, Boris Johnson, resigned over a dispute over Brexit. In his first comment after taking office, Hunt said he would support the prime minister "so that we can reach an agreement with the EU based on what the cabinet approved last week."

Johnson said in his letter of resignation on Monday that May's trade proposals after leaving the EU would make Britain a "colony" of the European Union. Theresa May replied that she "feels sorry and surprised" at Johnson's decision after he seemed to support the proposals on Friday. Johnson's resignation came hours after the resignation of David Davies, the EU Brexit minister. Matt Hancock replaced Hunt as health minister, while Attorney General Jeremy Wright was appointed as minister of culture, media and sports, replacing Hancock.
